Abstract: One aspect of the invention relates to an anhydrous antiperspirant composition comprising i) AlCl3 or any hydrates thereof, ii) at least one calcium or magnesium salt of an organic acid,and iii) at least one water miscible solvent. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of preventing or reducing perspiration comprising applying to the skinan anhydrous anti-perspirant composition comprising the abovementioned components. Yet another aspect of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing an anhydrous antiperspirant composition comprising: I) providing at least one water miscible solvent, II) optionally adding a thickening agent, III) Adding at least onecalcium or magnesium salt of an organic acid, IV) optionally adding an oil phase, V) Adding a solution of AlCl3 or any hydrates thereof, to form said anhydrous antiperspirant composition.

Abstract: One aspect of the invention relates to a sunscreen composition comprising at least one sunscreen agent, at least one film forming polymer, at least one solvent, and at least one thickening agent, wherein said thickening agent is present in an amount in the range of 0.01-0.2%(w/w). Another aspect of the present invention relates to the use of a thickening agent for increasing the sun protection factor of a sunscreen composition comprising at least one sunscreen agent, at least one film forming polymer, and at least one solvent. Yet another aspect of the present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of a sunscreen composition comprising the steps of i) providing at least one solvent, at least one thickening agent, at least one film forming polymer and at least one sunscreen agent, ii) admixing the components of step i) to provide a sunscreen composition. The sunscreen compositions of the invention have an improved water-resistance.

Abstract: Thus, one aspect of the invention relates to a sunscreen composition comprising at least one sunscreen agent, at least one film forming polymer, and at least one solvent, wherein said film forming polymer is present in an amount of less than 2.0% (w/w). Another aspect of the present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of a sunscreen composition comprising the steps of i) providing at least one solvent, at least one film forming polymer in an amount of less than 2.0% (w/w), and at least one sunscreen agent, ii) admixing the components of step i) to provide a sunscreen composition.
